In a move that deepens our commitment to social impact and inclusive storytelling, Lozafina is proud to welcome Inclusive Communities to our growing roster of clients.

For nearly nine decades, Inclusive Communities has stood as a guiding voice in Omaha, championing equity, dialogue, and social healing through Table Talks, human relations programming, youth leadership camps, and community events like the Humanitarian Awards. 

We’re proud to share that our client, Founder and Principal Coach Aimee S. Gibson, MBA, PCC, of BraveJoy Leadership, is currently serving on the Greater Omaha Chamber’s POWER Conference committee for the 2025 event.

The Great Plains Black History Museum invites the community to come together on Saturday, August 23rd, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the historic Jewell Building, 2221 N 24th Street, Omaha, NE, for a powerful gathering in honor of the 62nd anniversary of the March on Washington and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s iconic “I Have a Dream” speech.

Walking into the Younes Conference Center North, the energy was electric. Hundreds of young people from across Nebraska gathered with big dreams and open minds, ready to see what was possible for their futures.

The inaugural Nebraska Governor’s Youth Summit facilitated one-on-one interactions between high school and college students and business, college, and military leaders. Throughout the day, employers and educators presented student attendees with internship, scholarship, and job offers in Nebraska.

Lozafina is proud to announce its continued partnership with The Bloc for the 2025 50 Over 50 Nebraska Awards, a prestigious celebration that the nonprofit started to honor Nebraskans aged 50 and older who are shaping the state through leadership, innovation, service, and impact.

Set to take place on Oct. 25, 2025, at the Embassy Suites Downtown Omaha, this year’s awards promise to spotlight a powerful group of honorees.

So here’s something I never thought I’d be writing…

Yours truly is swapping out a notepad and press pass for sequins and dance shoes.

Nervous? You bet.

Excited? Absolutely.

On Friday, Oct. 17, 2025, I’ll be stepping into the spotlight at The Astro in La Vista for Youth Emergency Services’ Dance for a Chance, a night where Omaha’s movers, shakers (and apparently me!) take the stage for one big reason: to support young people in our community who are facing crisis.

The U.S. Small Business Administration has officially opened nominations for the 2026 National Small Business Week (NSBW) Awards, inviting communities across the country to spotlight the entrepreneurs who power jobs, innovation, and local prosperity. NSBW 2026 will be celebrated from May 3 to 9, 2026.

When the Barrientos Scholarship Foundation’s leadership shared their heartfelt testimonial via video, it served as a powerful affirmation that our collaboration left a lasting emotional impact.

Lozafina created a new website for the nonprofit that reflects the Foundation’s core values, bringing their mission, culture, and community to life in a meaningful way. Their words highlighted in the clip below show how this digital transformation has deepened trust and connection among students, partners, and supporters alike.

In celebration of National Intern Day — recognized on the last Thursday in July — interns from Lozafina and Hiya were granted a rare and resonant experience: a face-to-face meeting with Omaha Mayor John Ewing Jr. inside City Hall’s Cabinet Room.

Held at the Omaha-Douglas County Civic Center, the July 31 meeting brought together a cohort of emerging youth leaders and one of the city’s most influential public figures, not for a formality, but for something far more personal.

We blinked. And just like that, our summer interns headed into their final week at Lozafina.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be spotlighting their final projects, starting with “Confessions from the Interns — Total Drama Style”

Yes, we went there. Think The Office meets Total Drama Island with a dash of creative chaos and plenty of coffee.

Award-winning storyteller and entrepreneur Josefina Loza has been selected as a Leader for the inaugural Nebraska Governor’s Youth Summit, set to take place on Thursday, August 14, 2025, at the Younes Conference Center North in Kearney, Neb.

The Youth Summit, which was launched in partnership with CareerPathway.com and the Nebraska Departments of Economic Development and Agriculture, is the state’s first large-scale convening focused on connecting Nebraska’s rising generation of high school and college students with real-world career opportunities.

Yes, we know. It’s not as flashy as a viral TikTok trend or a sleek rebrand. But data privacy is the quiet powerhouse shaping how brands connect with real people, and how much those people are willing to trust us in return.

With regulations tightening and consumers becoming savvier about how their information is used, brands are under pressure to shift their approach.

We’re beaming with pride this week as one of our youngest and boldest clients takes the international stage again.

Alejandra Wells, teen entrepreneur and founder of Hiya (goshophiya.com), is presenting her research on youth-led mental health advocacy at the 2025 ICAN Summit, an international conference unlike any other, dedicated to amplifying youth voice in science, wellness, and innovation.

Let’s get real: The “set-it-and-forget-it” content calendar is officially retired. In its place? Dynamic storytelling that responds to real-world moments in real time.

For marketing and communications professionals, that means learning how to pivot quickly, think on your feet, and craft messages that feel genuine, not manufactured.

We believe every team member brings something powerful to the table, and our My Five series is how we share those voices.

Today, we're spotlighting Pretty Moo, our communications specialist intern who’s blending strategy and storytelling with serious design flair. We asked Pretty to share five of her favorite items that she couldn’t live without. Here’s what she had to say…

What if I told you that some of the world’s most prestigious education is just a click away, and it won’t cost you a dime?

Thanks to MIT Open Learning, you can now access a library of free, high-impact online courses built by experts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Yes, that MIT.

Lozafina proudly announces our newest partnership with a cultural cornerstone in our community: the Great Plains Black History Museum. Starting this month, our team will be supporting the Museum through public relations, media outreach, and full social media content creation and management.

And yes, you read that right: it’s all free.
